What is the ribbon?

ribbonfish are fish with elongated, narrow bodies that live in pelagic zone seawater. This means that they generally live in the open sea, not in shallower coastal waters. Their typical habitat is at depths between approximately 330 ft (100 m) and 1,640 ft (500 m). There are three families and ten species in the family. Ribbons are zu , desmodema and trachipterus .

Ribbon is rarely seen because of the depths they inhabit. However, when observed, they are easily recognizable. Their slim, outstretched bodies have a long dorsal fin, which usually runs along the entire length of the back, just behind the head. They may have 62 to 111 vertebrae. Anal fins are not present and their breast fins are small. They also have no scales.

Because they live in deeper waters, fins and membranes of these fish are fragile and fragile. They move the snake way and rely on the ripple of their bodies and on their dorsal flippers to drive them with water. These are not feeds and their diet consists mainly of RYB, octopus and small invertebrates. The interesting characteristics they have is that their jaws can protrude significantly when they eat. They also grow in allometric fashion, with different parts of the body growing at very changing speeds.

Their habitat includes all world oceans except Antarctica. You can also find them in the Mediterranean. Some of the places where the ribbon was caught is the Atlantic Ocean - near Iceland, Scotland, Orkney Islands and Scandinavia - just like Bengal, Puget Sound and off the coast of Mauritia. They may vary in length from 12 in (30.48 cm) to 56 ft (17.07 m).

One type of belt, trachipterus ishikawae is also known as the fish earthquake by Taiwanese people. This is because the tendency appears along the coast of Tai -wan after a significant earthquake occurs. This was documented in 2006, 2007 and 2010. Observation of fish with Vyskya thickness in the same area, but when no seismic activity has been recorded.

Another kind of this pelagic fish is trachipterus altivelis . Its common name is the king-closer and you can find it in the waters of Puget Sound. The native American legend states that this ribbon leads salmon when they migrate.
